New Delhi: Police on Thursday recovered the bodies of two elderly sisters who were found dead at their home in West Delhi's Paschim Vihar on Thursday. While officials have reached the scene of the crime and are examining CCTV footage among other factors to identify the murderer, the bone-chilling crime has gripped the locality.

The victims, both sisters around 75-years-old have been identified as Asha and Usha Pathak, says a report by India TV. It further adds that one of the women was a retired teacher and the other was a retired librarian.

Meanwhile, a preliminary investigation suggests that the killer may have been someone known to the sisters since there were no signs of forced entry at the home where the bodies were recovered. Investigators have not made any comments about this being a case of robbery or murder. No missing valuables have been reported by kin of the deceased as of yet, however, the examination of the scene of the crime is still underway and is likely to yield essential clues for the police.

A thorough probe into the matter is currently underway and Delhi police are combing through CCTV footage from near the victims' home to identify and subsequently nab the murderer.

A similar incident was reported from Delhi’s Rajendranagar earlier this year where a senior citizen died after being gagged by robbers who broke into his home. The 68-year-old man along with his wife was gagged and blindfolded by robbers who made away with jewellery and close to Rs 70 lakh in cash.
